Sustainable management and a distinctive and exciting urban landscape

Liverpool City Council is responsible for managing Liverpool’s World Heritage Site at a local level.

The council, in partnership with key stakeholders, has established a non-executive Steering Group to advise on and support its work.  It brings together principal organisations with a positive interest in and responsibility for the future of the World Heritage Site.

UNESCO requires that those responsible for a Site should have a Management Plan, which sets out the vision and goals for preserving and enhancing the Site’s Outstanding Universal Value (OUV).

Our aim is to conserve the city’s cultural heritage to the highest standards of good practice while integrating contemporary architecture. In this way we can continue to create a distinctive and exciting urban landscape, combining the best of new design with the most significant historic buildings.
